how shafted am I?

Don't speak to the DVLA for goodness sake. That's you admitting that you know your in the wrong and alerting them to the fact.

Car's parked up - and your on a two week vacation out of the country - just happen to get back on the 13th or "hours before you arrived, officer. I'll have a disc first thing in the morning......"

They normally only kick out the sorns after 2 weeks - again it's because you can get it by post.

Your cat is now off my car and I can drop it off at your Edinburgh office on Wednesday.

Iâ€™m sure that Rich had a spare flexi which he offered me a shot of when I thought that might be a problem. It would at least get you through an MOT. Iâ€™d offer you mine but I canâ€™t get it off so it wouldnâ€™t be much good to you.

Goes without saying that you are welcome to park up at mine but the weege might not be the most useful place to have your car.

I also have ramps, more tools than I know how to use and a big hammer at my folks in Ayrshire if you are struggling with installation.

Thanks again for the cat

Graham

hmm.... forgot about Rich's spare flexi....

Could possibly be the end of my woes if I could get that wee blighter on my car - then I could get an MOT and some tax...

Greg,

Further thought.

The flexi is knackered, correct? Get yourself a pot of "gungum" cake the crack up - run the car at idle for about 15 mins then leave to cool and it will set hard. Then drive gently round to the MOT station and get them to test it. It will probably last long enough to get you through.

Total cost - under £5
Repair life - under an hour

The first time I was inroduced to the Lineys was in a dive of a pub called the Akrotiri Arms (AKA The Akky Arms) and 2 of them were standing alone in the middle of the floor. thay had had a competition, the winer was the last to go to the toilet. Unfortunatly, they decided thay could win by not going to the toilet, and pissing themselves in a packed pub... nice...
